On March 07, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter 2017 dividend of $0.01 per share payable on or about April 04, 2018, to shareholders of record as of March 21, 2018.

Aegean Marine's indicated dividend represents a yield of 1.60% compared to the average dividend yield of 2.00% for the Services sector.

Dividend Insight

Aegean Marine has a dividend payout ratio of 7.5%, which indicates that the Company spends approximately $0.8 for dividend distribution out of every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much amount a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.

According to analysts' estimates, Aegean Marine is forecasted to report earnings of $0.47 for the next year, which is substantially higher than the Company's annualized dividend of $0.04 per share.

As of December 31, 2017, Aegean Marine had $438.3 million of undrawn amounts under its working capital facilities and $71.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to finance working capital requirements, while its net debt was $52.1 million. The Company's strong financial position indicates its ability to absorb any fluctuations in earnings and cash flow and to sustain the dividend distribution for a long period.
